Two short documentaries about voguing - 1989 and 2011. An evolution of a dance form and a subculture.<br><br>
<a href="http://vimeo.com/24659784">Voguing: The Message</a> traces the roots of this gay, Black and Latino dance form, which appropriates and plays with poses and images from mainstream fashion. Voguing competitions parody fashion shows and rate the contestants on the basis of movement, appearance and costume. This tape is a pre-Madonna primer that raises questions about race, sex and subcultural style. [Dir. Jack Walworth, David Bronstein &amp; Dorothy Low 1989 13 min.]<br><br>
<a href="http://vimeo.com/33993457">VOGUE: A Twist on the Dance Floor</a> is an intimate look into modern day voguing and how it's leaving a big impression even today. Starring legendary vogue fem Dashaun Evisu. [Dir. Danilo Parra, Produced by Dashaun Wesley; 2011 11 min.] <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS0_NUqPgw4">Paris Is Burning</a> is a 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the poor, African American and Latino gay and transgendered community involved in it. Many consider Paris Is Burning to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, as well as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, and gender in America.

His close and long friendships with many of the people in the images allowed him to photograph them with extraordinary intimacy in all their states of joy and sadness. His images of nightlife seem carefree and far away from the scars and segregation of apartheid that fractured this society in the daylight." tag:metafilter.com,2011:site.99777Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:14:41 -0800artof.mulataThe unreleased 1998 documentary "Frat House"http://www.metafilter.com/66348/The%2Dunreleased%2D1998%2Ddocumentary%2DFrat%2DHouse
In 1997, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0680846/">Todd Phillips</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0348640/">Andrew Gurland </a>created a film documenting the savagely brutal hazing rituals that take place during Hell Week at U.S. college fraternities. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139221/">Frat House</a> was completed and won the Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at 1998's Sundance Film Festival, an award that was later rescinded. HBO was slated to air it later that year, but pulled it for reasons that remain debatable to this day. It has never seen an official release.

Frat House</a> <small>(60 minutes, Google video, <b></b></small>) Lawyers representing several fraternity organizations and frat brothers charged that Phillips and Gurland, among other things, staged events, recreated scenes, and that the frat featured in the most severe segments doesn't pledge during the spring semester when the footage was shot.

In interviews</a>, the filmmakers stood by their work, saying the only questionable matter was that some of the pledges were in fact already members of the fraternity.
In order to get a firsthand view of the happenings, Phillips and Gurland pledged and went through Hell Week at two northeastern U.S. schools. I'm not going to spoil the way it turns out, but it's a compelling and interesting watch. Whether or not it was fabricated, the film is a horrifying and realistic exploration of a side of undergrad life that most of us happily avoided.
Todd Phillips had previously directed <a href="http://wc03.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:81305~T0">Hated: G.G. Allin and &amp; the Murder Junkies </a> and then went on to the big time, helming such... um... classics as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215129/">Road Trip</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302886/">Old School</a>. Andrew Gurland went on to make <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377088/">Mail Order Wife</a>, a verry well done and... well, fake documentary. tag:metafilter.com,2007:site.66348Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:39:33 -0800itemGuys and Dolls - uncanny lovehttp://www.metafilter.com/62759/Guys%2Dand%2DDolls%2Duncanny%2Dlove
